Developed by 6Wunderkinder GmbH, a Berlin-based startup, Wunderlist was launched almost 5 years ago and currently has 13+ million users, who have collectively created more than 1 billion to-dos to date. Below is what the company says in the official press release:

It’s only the beginning. Our aspirations are much bigger. Joining Microsoft gives us access to a massive wealth of expertise, technology and people that a small company like us could only dream of amassing on its own.

So what will change for you? Nothing right now. Our team in Berlin will continue to build and deliver you Wunderlist, Wunderlist Pro and Wunderlist for Business across all platforms–iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, Android, Windows Phone, Windows and the Web. I will continue to lead the team and product strategy, because that’s what I love the most–building great products that help individuals and businesses get stuff done in the simplest and most intuitive way possible.

The company has also announced that it will be introducing a host of new features as it becomes a part of the Microsoft family over the next few months.

Great quality of apps MSFT is buying for their acquired mobile suite. Essentially assembling a group of products to rival those of Google’s, with Accompli, Sunrise and Wunderlist. I use(d) all those for my personal stuff, and use Exchange for my work stuff, so it’ll be interesting to see how they combine the two profiles – something Google hasn’t figured out with personal/work place accounts.
